Aphex Twin How did you come across Aphex twin?

i was really into Reload around '93 and saw they remixed On, so bought that upon release and never looked back.

i fell in love with Vordhosbn while walking home from school 6 years ago.

my first "taste" was, predictably, the CTD vid which i enjoyed but wasn't amazed by...took some time to sink in.

a friend said idioteque by radiohead sounded a bit like aphex twin. i then looked up who he was talking about.

ok, yeah, i'll re-answer because i feel this is a better one:

mp3s came into existence and i found out about electronic music in a flood, aphex along with boc squarepusher etc. was rad. before that i listened to classic rock and celtic folk. still love both those too.

Before electronic MUSIC I LISTEND

i sailed the seven seas

on a wheel made of cheese

i banged a lotta mermaids

but they gave me the mermA.I.D.S.

Some MTV program in the 90s which showed Aphex's "On". Must have been Chill Out Zone I guess. That program shaped my taste in music with clips from Aphex, Orb, Orbital, FSOL, Autechre etc. etc. Too bad it's not on anymore.

I'm always interested in the folks who get a taste, don't like it, and then claim to love it later.

 

It also happens to people who are already into aphex. I remember the first time i listened to boxing day, i was like... you know... "quite good". Aphex's like that, the more you listen to it, the more you enjoy it : it took me 2 years of picky listening to enjoy every single of the 42 tracks from the analord series. Only W32.Mydoom.AU@mm and Backdoor.Ranky.S are still making resistance to me.

mydoom is the only analord track i never really liked much
